"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the Sons of God, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world." (Phil. 2:15.) From these Scriptures we learn: (1) That those who called upon the name of the Lord; (2) Those who believed in the name of Christ; (3) Those who are blameless (sinless); (4) Those that are without rebuke; (5) The spiritually pure and holy--are "the Sons of God"; (6) That those born of the flesh--the will of man--are not the Sons of God. The question is not, therefore, one of complexion--skin color; but of purity of heart, holiness of life. That they were white people is affirmed by P. C. This is not so, there being no white people on the earth till the birth of Japheth, who was born about one hundred years before the flood; and had no offspring till after the deluge. It is equally certain that they were not black. Ham, the first black child, being born, like Japheth, a century before the flood and having no offspring till after that cataclysm. It is absolutely certain that, so far as lineage is concerned, they were of the Seth line; and, therefore, were "colored people "--i.e., " red people." And, second, who were the " Daughters of Men "? The following Scripture will enable us to determine: " And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the Sons of God saw the Daughters of Men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." (Gen. 6:1-2.) DEGREES Were they black women or negresses ? Such is P. C.'s position. That it is not true is certain; (1) There were no negroes in existence; (2) They were fair. If fair they were not negresses, or black; (3) They were Daughters of " Men;" and, therefore, ...

Download or read book This Worldwide Struggle written by Sarah Azaransky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Worldwide Struggle: Religion and the International Roots of the Civil Rights Movement identifies a network of black Christian intellectuals and activists who looked abroad, even in other religious traditions, for ideas and practices that could transform American democracy. From the 1930s to the 1950s, they drew lessons from independence movements around for the world for an American racial justice campaign. Their religious perspectives and methods of moral reasoning developed theological blueprints for the classical phase of the Civil Rights Movement. The network included professors and public intellectuals Howard Thurman, Benjamin Mays, and William Stuart Nelson, each of whom met with Mohandas Gandhi in India; ecumenical movement leaders, notably YWCA women, Juliette Derricotte, Sue Bailey Thurman, and Celestine Smith; and pioneers of black Christian nonviolence James Farmer, Pauli Murray, and Bayard Rustin. People in this group became mentors and advisors to and coworkers with Martin Luther King and thus became links between Gandhi, who was killed in 1948, and King, who became a national figure in 1956. Azaransky's research reveals fertile intersections of worldwide resistance movements, American racial politics, and interreligious exchanges that crossed literal borders and disciplinary boundaries, and underscores the role of religion in justice movements. Shedding new light on how international and interreligious encounters were integral to the greatest American social movement of the last century, This Worldwide Struggle confirms the relationship between moral reflection and democratic practice, and it contains vital lessons for movement building today.
Download or read book Speculations on Black Life written by Darrell Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is God a white racist? Posed by William R. Jones in his ground-breaking book of the same name, this question disrupted the theological assumptions that marked Black religious thought from early writings of the 1800s to the formation of Black theology in the 1960s. This book compiles his key and essential writings related to over three decades of critical reflection on race, religion, secularism, and oppression in the United States. Over the course of 30 years, Jones pushed questions and considerations that refined Black theology and that gave greater shape to and understanding of Black philosophers' intervention into issues of racial and structural inequality. His philosophical work, related to the grid of oppression, fosters an approach to the nature and meaning of oppression in the United States, encouraging rational interrogation of structures of injustice and thought patterns supporting those structures. Still relevant today, the straightforward style of communication used by Jones makes these essays easily accessible to a popular audience, while maintaining intellectual rigor, making the book also suitable for an academy-based audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing that African American religious studies has reached a crossroads, Cornel West and Eddie Glaude seek, in this landmark anthology, to steer the discipline into the future. Arguing that the complexity of beliefs, choices, and actions of African Americans need not be reduced to expressions of black religion, West and Glaude call for more careful reflection on the complex relationships of African American religious studies to conceptions of class, gender, sexual orientation, race, empire, and other values that continue to challenge our democratic ideals.
